Floating Body Had Weights Tied To Wrists, Ankles

The body found floating in Sheepshead Bay may have been a murder victim, circumstances suggest. Authorities fished the 6-foot-2, 240-pound grey-haired white male out of the waters near Shore Boulevard and Exeter Street last Friday. Tied to his wrists and ankles were five-pound weights, but NYPD has not yet ruled the case a homicide. According to a Courier-Life report, the victim did not have any gunshot or stabbing wounds, and his identity continues to remain a mystery. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday, but results are inconclusive pending further tests.

Not yet ruled a homicide? I know many people who go swimming in Sheepshead Bay with resistance weights tied to their wrists and ankles. Great for building swimming endurance.

Russian mobsters… no doubt in my mind

if this was a mob hit, then, really, mobsters are stupid. dont they realize if you are going to throw the body into such a public area, there will be a whole bunch of busy bodies poking their nose into these things. and yet the plot thickens.
